The first wild-card playoff game of the 2021 NFL season produced a lot of frustration among Raiders and Bengals Matt Beaty Jersey fans, and not just because of how their teams were playing. They were also upset with questionable or mi sed calls by the officiating crew.There were 14 accepted penalties in the 26-19Bengals victory. All five of the Raiders' starting offensive linemen were penalized during the game, .The Raiders finished with seven penalties for 46 yardswhile the Bengals had sevenpenalties for 56yards.MORE: Playoff officiating crews are "all-star" units composed of officials from various crews. For this game, Jerome Boger was the referee. He has been an NFL referee since 2004.These refs are having the time of the lifeIts the Jerome Boger show featuring the Raiders and Bengals Frank Fleming (@NjTank99) As it turns out, Boger's performance wasn't entirely unexpected. Per Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, a front office official fully expected the crew's sub-par outing.Text from an NFC exec: Im SHOCKED that Jerome Bogers crew f----d up. SHOCKED. Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) But Boger's crew, for all its experience,left fans confused by some of the decisions it made. Here's a look at five questionable calls or mi sed callsand a sampling of how fans reacted to them on Twitter:MORE: Arguably the biggest wild call was made late in the second quarter when Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw a touchdown pa s to Tyler Boyd. Boyd caught the pa s without trouble, but no touchdown was called right away. This was because an Gavin Lux Jersey officialblew his whistle before Boyd caught the ball. The official thought Burrow stepped out of bounds before he released the ball.The NFL rulebook reads: "(W)hen an official sounds the whistle erroneously while the ball is still in play, the ball becomes dead immediately." The play is not reviewable. Nonethele s, the touchdown stood.A whistle was 100% blown while the pa s was in the air. If an official did that, this play is supposed to be ruled dead, per NFL rules. Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) The Refs in this game:"I don't always blow my whistle when I'm supposed to but when I do blow my whistle, I blow it at the wrong time. Patrick Allen (@RPatrickAllen) just one game into the playoffs and it's already Tweeting Out The Photo Of The Refs Spelling Out BRUH O'Clock. Rodger Sherman (@rodger) MORE:In the third quarter, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr threw a deep pa s to wide receiver Hunter Renfrow. Renfrow appeared to catch the ball, but Bengals safetyJe sie Bates III knocked it out of Andre Ethier Jersey his hands and it bounced out of bounds. The ruling on the field was a reception and a fumble.Cincinnati challenged the ruling. The call was reversed, with the officials changing it to an incomplete pa s.Do the refs get the same feed as TV...Clear catch...3 feet and tuck, along with player turning up. call me...Please... Donnie 'RightSide' Seymour (@RightSideVP) Refs tonight: Jacoby (@JacobyFC) The Officiating crew won the 3rd quarter. The Raiders, Bengals, and all fans of the game lost. Andrew Ru sell (@PFF_AndrewR) MORE:The Raiders had 12 men on the field for one play, but the officials did not catch Yasiel Puig Jersey it. Raiders cornerback Casey Hayward noticed the potential penalty, however, so he called a timeout before the crew noticed.Casey Hayward saw the Raiders had 12 men on the field and called the timeoutVet moves. B/R Gridiron (@brgridiron) These officials would have never noticed 12 men on the field. Lol Mark Zinno (@MarkZinno) 12 men on the field, roughing the pa ser, no first down, but Raiders got the timeout after the play ran make it make sense. Tanner Clifton (@tanner_clifton) In the first quarter, Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase appeared to push off against Raiders cornerbackDesmond Trufant before a reception. No penalty was called. These fans thought Chase should have been flagged.Chase sent Trufant 6 yards down the field with the push off LMAOO (@FTB_Vids_YT) I gue s the push off rule doesnt apply to Jamarr Chase. My sources are told the refs like watching him do the Griddy Simon Charles ( Matt Kemp Jersey @S_CharlesNFL) Ja'Marr Chase got away with a whole push off Lee Harvey (@MusikFan4Life) With le s than two minutes remaining in the game and the Raiders attempting to tie the game or take the lead, Bengals defensive end Khalid Kareem was flagged for roughing Derek Carr. Looking at the video, however, it appears that Kareem hit Carr in the shoulder and maybe the face mask. The call sparked a lot of reactions from fans who didn't believe the hit was that "rough."Roughing the pa serare you kidding me Tony Clements (@TonyCMKE) One of the worst roughing the pa ser calls in NFL history. Complete buffoons as referees. Ryan Whitney (@ryanwhitney6) Well, that roughing the pa ser was nonsense. Aaron Schatz (@FO_ASchatz)
